A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted.

The fediverse is notorious for overmoderation and mobbing. A lot of ppl have come here looking for a safer space and as a result they are incredibly (over?)zealous about protecting it.
Sidenote: I incredibly disagree with the author's conclusion that calckey should be avoided because of their experience. On mastodon, they likely would not have had their account reactivated because the majority of those overzealous ppl are on mastodon
The US State Department only just directed its employees to use Calibri for memos earlier this year. The State Department had been using Times New Roman instead since 2004.

I can only tell you that, from a mechanistic point of view, there's not really much distinguishing our decision making process from, say, the decision making of a flatworm
